Hi mate, have tested it on my smok with baby beast aswell as my goon and serpent rdta, same thing on all of them. Tried different wattage's and still theres a taste there that im really repelled by.

I thought it may be the batch however i grabbed some of my ingredients to make a clone going off a well reviewed recipe and that same flavour is there...I cant describe it other then I find it really over bearing and repulsive. Im just going to have to go through the flavours individually, I assume there is a flavour in it that just does not sit well with me personally. First time ive faced this since starting so its a little off putting when everyone else seems to enjoy it haha

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and blame the guava. I don't like even real ones that much.

I also halve most clone recipes right off the bat. Most of them are way too over flavoured for me. I prefer to test each flavour individually and find the *minimum* that will do the job. Testing each flavour and working out levels takes some time, but you get a much better understanding of each of them, can tell exactly what is wrong when you do mix them, and you get a far better result at the end of it. I bet the clone recipe has more than 10% flavour in it, maybe approaching 20%.

"......reserved for those with a serious need for something truly exotic in taste".

Have you considered that your need may have been more whimsical than serious?

Good answer, that. ^^^^^^

For the second time I thought about whether a longer steep would be required, especially if the odd flavour is a bit chemical tasting (indicating too much flavouring) however I also remembered for the second time that it shipped from the US with nicotine already in there, so steeping should have already occurred.
